Flu Shots

My LO will be 10 months and his Dr suggested giving him the flu shot. I'm a FTM and a little nervous about him getting the shot. Neither DH or myself have had the flu shot. Any ladies already get the flu shot for their LO? Did LO have any allergic reactions?

Hi! Just peeking on the Feb board, I'm from the Jan board. I was reluctant to get flu shots too for my ds but after his second cold at 9.5 months it was the worse I've ever seen and decided to go ahead and get it done incase I brought something home (work in child care). He got his fist one at the 9 month visit and other than his horrible runny nose, no fever, he was playful like usual. The second one we did last week and same thing, no effects at all :) I'm happy with my decision. The flu is supposed to be at its worst this season.

Yep, me DH and DS have all had our shots. It was easy because it was just one shot for him this time so I held him and by the time he realized what happened it was over. He barely cried. No adverse reactions after either.

I went back and forth about it and finally decided to get it. She had the second part of it this week (we has to go back for a weight check too, so it worked out well). She cried for about 5 seconds and was a little cranky that afternoon, but otherwise no negative affects.

we all got immunized last mo and did got her second round last week.didn't even cry when they poked her! no adverse reactions. u need both shots first time else first one doesn't work by itself. if your kid gets flu right after its cause they already were exposed elsewhere. once they get the second dose it takes about two weeks for system to build up immunity. flu is bad this year so I wanted us to be covered!

My LO got the shot... Everyone in his class at daycare got the flu except him. I know several were not immunized. I'm a home health nurse and I am in some pretty bad environments... I wanted to protect him from me. He is also still breastfed though.... No one else in his class is.

Goodness girls, stop the banter! To the OP, dd got the shots and no reactions. As a teacher, I always get the shot. Dh never has bc he hates needles but when he was at the dr last week they made him get one. :) ha! So we're all protected!
